Here is a drug information site, that logs and collates side effect data that is reported specifically to the FDA:

http://www.drugcite.com/?q=PROGRAF

The first link is Prograf. You can click on any entry and expand that category.

Cellcept:
http://www.drugcite.com/?q=cellcept

Both of these drugs are not commonly used by many people so the numbers for them appear low. Not all reports are made by doctors either, so consider that factor also. Doctors often do not report to FDA, and that is well known.

Prednisone over time really depletes some nutrients.
Magnesium is one of them.
Also
calcium
folic acid
potassium
selenium
Vit C
Vit D
Zinc

Prednisone also can increase blood sugar and deranged blood sugars impact PN.
When you expand Prograf's reports, you will see blood sugar impact listed also. So it would be a good idea to follow your
HbA1C readings and perhaps test yourself with a glucose monitor now and then.

The fact that you suddenly don't feel well, may be due to impaired glucose utilization. That can happen to ANYONE but it is also a factor in post transplant renal recipients .

So getting your blood sugar monitored may be a good idea for you, as well as avoiding high carb, sugar consumption. Many PNers feel much better when they avoid sugar and white carbs.
